The Enemy By Pearl S. Buck 📌 Introduction “The Enemy” is a thought-provoking short story by Pearl S. Buck. Set during World War II, the story explores the conflict between professional duty and national loyalty through the character of Dr. Sadao, a Japanese surgeon who saves the life of an American prisoner of war. 🧾 Complete Summary Dr. Sadao Hoki, a skilled Japanese surgeon trained in America, lives with his wife Hana on the Japanese coast during World War II. One day, they find a wounded American soldier washed ashore near their house. The soldier is technically their enemy, and helping him could be considered treason. However, as a doctor, Sadao feels morally bound to save his life. Despite fear of punishment, he performs a successful surgery. The household servants, driven by fear and nationalism, leave the house in protest. Hana, though initially frightened, supports her husband. Sadao informs a Japanese General about the American soldier. The General promises to send assassins to kill the prisoner quietly but forgets to do so due to his own illness. Eventually, Sadao helps the American escape safely by giving him supplies and a boat.
